An older hotel right on the river. It was a good place to stay for a quiet evening but some of the amenities felt dated.

Staff was great, as was the service. Only negative issue was the bed. Mattress much in need of replacement. But for that would have gotten 5 rating across the board.

This property is tired, the mattress was shaped like a W. Location was good, easy walk to everything. Thankfully we only had one night here, the bed was terrible.
I had a wonderful stay. Staff were brilliant and very helpful. Lovely room and excellent food.

Quick stopover on Perth.
Rooms are fine but no A/C. Also no lift. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking difficult if their small car park is full. However, great location and lovely outlook onto the river.
Lovely old place loads of character staff very friendly and helpful looking forward to breakfast with a great view of the tay, thanks for another enjoyable stay
Lovely little traditional family hotel with many historic features. Lovely and quiet at night and extrememy clean. Nothing was too much trouble for the great staff, especially our breakfast server. What a lovely character and a real asset to the hotel.

This is a traditional Scottish hotel with lots of tartan! The room was large, clean & comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Pleasant stay, no vie from room but only there for one night so not a problem. Perfect location for exploring the city. Excellent food, will certainly use hotel again
We had a lovely time at the royal George hotel, all staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was great. I would recommend this hotel
Really nice hotel with exceptionally friendly staff, 5 minute walk from the town center with plenty of bars and restaurants.
Only thing for us was the parking lot is super tight if you have a big car like ours
